BRIAN Clough would have been sick as a parrot - he's just been
voted football's worst-dressed manager ever, with Ron Atkinson not
far behind.

The Nottingham Forest legend's pitch-side clobber of green
jumper, trainers and track-suit bottoms won him the dubious award in a
survey of soccer fans.

Former England boss Kevin Keegan came second and ex-Man United
chief Big Ron scooped third place, thanks to his long sack-like coats.

Barry Fry and Graham Taylor complete the list of the top five least
sartorial soccer managers.

But suave Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho will be over the moon to hear
he has been voted the best dressed coach.

His slick and sophisticated outfits left Premiership rivals Arsene
Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson trailing in his wake. Dapper Arsenal
manager Wenger came third after former Newcastle chief Sir Bobby Robson.

Malcolm Allison was fourth and Terry Venables fifth. Fiery Scot
Fergie even flirted with relegation out of the top-flight fashion league
- he came in 10th.

Tesco quizzed 3,000 fans for the survey, to coincide with the
release of Playstation 2 game Football Manager 2006. A spokeswoman said:
"Football is the beautiful game and it seems Jose Mourinho dresses
the most beautifully."

No doubt Cloughie, who died in 2004 after a long illness, would
have had a few choice words to say about the results of the survey. He
was also voted most terrifying manager and most entertaining in
post-match interviews.

One thing's for sure...if Cloughie were still around,
it's unlikely anyone would have dared tell him he was the
worst-dressed boss. And definitely not to his face.
